Deductions & credits

@Nipsey_X You have some homework to do.   First, understand that the typical DoorDash delivery person is an independent contractor.   That means the IRS considers you to be self-employed.   DoorDash will not withhold any  tax from your pay, so you will be paying all of the Social Security and Medicare yourself as well as ordinary income tax.

 

Do some googling to see  how much the average DoorDash deliverer makes in your area----and how many hours they work to earn their incomes.  It can vary widely depending on where you are.   There are a number of sites you can find online with information about realistic income expectations for delivery driving, rideshare driving, etc.

 

When you say you will procure a "personal loan" what do you mean by that?   Is a family member loaning you money to buy a car?   

 

As for car insurance---have you done some research to see how much it will cost you to have insurance---especially if you are a delivery driver?   You say that you are about to get a driver's license----so your rates as a new driver may be higher than you anticipate.

 

If you go forward with your plans:
